• Visual Studio Stdole.dll 8.0.0.0 missing in GAC. Dropped in RTM?

  Hi, On my system (with a VS 2005 CTP or Release Candidate), there is a stdole.dll file with assembly version 8.0.0.0 (and file version 8.0.50727.26) in the GAC. However, a user of my add-in says that several VS 2005 Professional Edition RTM that he has tried don’t have that file in the GAC, only version 7.0.3300.0, which in fact is the one used by his add-in wizard when creating an add-in project. Since my add-in assumes that that file with version 8.0.0.0 is on the target system (it does not include it in the setup), the add-in fails. So, was stdole version 8.0.0.0 dropped in the RTM of VS 2005 Thanks in advance. Best regards, Carlos J. ...Show All

• SQL Server Encryption and database restore

  Hi Can anyone help I have a database using encryption with symmetric keys created using asymmetric keys. I backed up this database and restored it on another machine along with the service master key. I can read the encrypted data fine. But all the encrypted stored procs that are associated with the application that uses the data cannot read the data, they just return Nulls. If I regenerate all the encrypted stored procs from script they work fine again. Is there a way to restore the database without having to regenerate all the encrypted procs You are probably missing this sequence after ...Show All

  I am writing a smart client application that talks with a thrid party listner on anouther server. This listner was written to read a <TEXTAREA> from a HTML Form "Post".

• Visual C# Windows Services - Is there any code that cannot run in a service?

  At startup, I need to check the status of a variable on my systems. First I tried using task scheduler to launch the code at boot, but it didn't work, so I am now looking into just writing a windows service. The idea is, I launch a dos based utility to check the stauts of the variable (I cannot check it directly it is proprietary), storing the status in a registry key. After the utility completes, I read the key. If the status is correct, I want to check the time. If the time is within a certain timeframe, it should launch a seperate program. The service seems to start ok, but as soon as it goes to check the time, it stops working. Code ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server Trial

  Is it possible to upgrade to the trial edition of Team Foundation Server from the release Candidate and later, when we have got it, upgrade from the trial to the "real thing" Actually, I ask if and how we can upgrade from the trial of Team Foundation Server to a real license. /Christer Yes. To upgrade to the full version, all you have to do is re-run the installer in "maintainance" mode and enter a product key. Since the Trial is posted for download and the full version is off getting manufactured, it's actually the easiest route for everyone. See: http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSF Certification

  I completed the 1846A course - and I wish to become an MSF practitioner. What's the certification that I should pursue I can no longer find 74-100 in the exam list (which used to be the MSF Practitioner exam) - the only one that comes close is the 70-301 one. Please advise. There will be some churn in the MSF exams as we transition to MSF v4.0. I suspect that is why the current MSF Practitioner exam has been withdrawn. David ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro cannot open up a form-- BIG TROUBLE

  I have been working on this form for about two months adding new objects and manipulating databases. The last save I did was about 4 days ago. I have a few grids in it on different pages of pageframe and everything worked fine. I never added any columns to any grid at design time. At runtime VFP determines the column layout after a grid is given an alias as a record source. Today, just a few minutes ago I decided to add three columns to a grid which has always been empty at design time. After I did a save, I got an error message at runtime: Error loading file - record number 34: o_Grid2 <or one of its members>. Header Class: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Fatal error CTC2114 when compiling wizard-generated DSLs

• .NET Development DataGridView SelectAll

  I am customising the top left header cell on a DataGridView to remove all filters applied to the data columns. However the default behaviour of this header cell is to SelectAll if the DataGridView is mult-select. How do I disable the select all behaviour of the top left cell while still allowing the grid to be mult-select. Tried overrides on various methods of DataGridViewTopLeftHeaderCell but to no avail. Hopefully I'm missing something obvious. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System HOWTO: Receive alert when a new bug is added to worklists

  Greetings, We have referenced the Foundation Server web service in our application so our testing users can submit a bug directly into our worklist during their evaluation. It's cool. 1. How do I get alerted when a new bug is added 2. It appears the web service API does not permit assigning a new work item to anyone. Am I missing something Is there a way to pass in who it should be assigned to Thank you in advance. Question #1 is most important of the two.
